#I'm just constantly feeling called out by the story or me going 'you dumb bitch' when it's also me who's the dumb bitcu

[incorrect-web-novels]

Reading ORV is so embarrassing because sometimes I'll be daydreaming about what's going to happen next based on my own personality (or what I would do), and then Kim Dokja just straight up says it word-for-word in the next scene. Stop perceiving me stop understanding me I'm here to read about you

[yumester]

sending this back to sender. i need a full dissertation on pAInter STAT

Oh, look it's the silly mutual once again in my ask box, wailing and screaming like a drenched kitten or that one generic male character from the hit game going through the worst experience ever— (gets shot)

Anyway, here's my opinions on The p.AI.nter from the hit Roblox game.

You know the drill, putting a read more for my and everyone's safety.

Fucking character of all time, man. Not including Sebastian! We hate Sebastian in this house! 🗣

They made this shit in the lab and called it straight up cocaine for lore heads. And by lore heads I mean me homie!! /j

Gonna mainly go over each label but might go into detail later on so watch out.

Everyone but me is wrong about them <3: I mean this in the nicest way possible. Pressure fandom has already failed miserably at the characterization of Sebastian. We've seen it all, to people anime boyifing the hell out of his visage, to the literal creators having to ward people off by adding changes to the game's data by removing voice lines. Man is not your big monster hubby with a tortured soul. Okay, maybe he is a tortured soul, but more literal than that and less likely to cry on your shoulder or even give you the benefit of the doubt to hold you at arm's length. Anyway, I've seen some people babify the hell out of p.AI.nter as well, and it sucks. I'm sorry, but it's true. It is not your friend, guys. It just wants to paint.

they got done dirty but the creator/s: Okay IDK if you've even peered at the recent updates or uploads from the main creator, but it was shown that p.AI.nter will be updated to be killed at some point. I don't know if they already patched that through the other day because, for one, I haven't played the new update. And, two, I think anyone who tries to do so is a dumb bitch because all p.AI.nter does is trick the player with fake doors and has turrets in occasional rooms (yes, the turrets can be annoying at times but who cares). In my head, I feel like the entity adds some charm to the existing enemies you face during a play through. And removing those elements just feels like a waste. Technically speaking, you only get to The p.AI.nter's room in a certain percentage. Though I will say it makes sense in canon why you would be able to destroy it as Urbanshade as talked nonstop about removing any and all adversaries that get in its way, mainly Sebastian (Unfortunately and thankfully, in Sebastian's case, Sebastian can't be killed). But, I will also say, The p.AI.nter's document, however tragic that it is, kills me at the fact how they handled its owner's death. Like really? Accidentally killed with a rifle to the head because of some dumb guard, no less. If I was that sentient AI, I would no doubt feel endless dread and sorrow. Though, then again, The p.AI.nter is already had several moments of killing itself and been depressed while under Urbanshade's care.

ADOPTION PAPERS ADOPTION PAPERS FILING THE ADOPTION PAPERS: I won't bother writing a whole paragraph, so take this GIF of p.AI.nter as Edgar instead. <3

i am constantly going insane rotating them in my brain like a fork in a microwave: I can not overstate how much I love this little guy. I don't talk about it much nor articulate the words in discussing this freak like I wish I could. But The p.AI.nter is a character that resides in my head twenty-four, seven. Like I'm writing a fanfic about Sebastian right now—well before you sent this, but all I've been thinking about is this dumb AI. Its relationship with Sebastian. Its overall role in the story of the game and so forth.

the popular ships for this character suck: OKAY, OKAY! I know I reblog and sometimes like content of The p.AI.nter with Sebastian together, but that's mostly because I find ship art in general to be an endearing thing to look at from the views of a consumer. However, canon wise it just doesn't… click is all I'm going to say. I DO LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC, HOWEVER!

constantly listening to songs and mentally holding them up like a paint swatch: To be fair, I'm always listening to music, I'm a music junkie at heart and, brother, this shit is breakcore!

I WANT TO STUDY THEM LIKE A COCKROACH: All I'm saying is robotic characters growing sentience is a form of love in video game writing, baby. Also, like I loved The p.AI.nter even before friendly fire update. But y'know me, when it hit beta with its new voice and new face with the MS Paint program that has scratchy line art, circles for eyes and wobbly smile—I was ecstatic! I'm not an engineer or a computer nerd by any meanings, but I wouldn't give to be in Pressure for a spell to like look at inside and out in a non-sexual way of course LMAO.

whats wrong with them (affectionate): SO, SO MANY THINGS! MAINLY URBANSHADE </3

#LETTHEPAINTERPAINTFREELYCHALLENGE

not enough screen time: Maybe this is the me that “likes this character a normal amount” talking, but it makes me sad that The p.AI.nter doesn't say much when you visit its enclosure in heavy containment. Like, you visit Sebastian's shop, and he has like hundreds of dialogue, all of which include snide remarks and shouting at you. It's freaking Gianni I get people! But anyway, my man deserves a little more, thank you. <3

they've never done anything wrong in their life <3: Watch this video from 1:25 and 2:23 and tell me I'm wrong.

my opinions would be received by most fans as akin to hitting a wasps nest with a baseball bat: i shan't say...

This is the best character in the work: Discounting the most integral character, Sebastian fucking Shoelace, we have The p.AI.nter! Yippie!!! My blorbo, my absolute bestie, my man who hits me in the ass with high grade turret bullets to only die to the next room, my “locks me in a room with my wife as we discuss divorce papers and play 7 minutes in heaven” wingman. <3

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TedTalk!

[dykebeyondthebinary]

You reblogged a post that was like "I want stories in my askbox" among other things, so let me tell you a wild story about fifth (ages 10-11) grade in the USA.

So, context. I'm going to call my school Smallcock elementary. Smallcock was overcrowded, so the 5th graders were put in trailers on the field. There were four 5th grade teachers: Ms. Weirdname, Mr. Gayvoice, Ms. Pokemon, and my least favorite (and my homeroom) Ms. Aloof. In Ms. Aloof's class, there was also a student teacher who I'll call Ms. Bitch. Ms. Bitch hated me, and did this thing where she obviously favored the neurodivergent kids and made it very obvious who they were, which made the rest of us resent them because she wasn't very nice to us. Ms. Bitch did shit like take away my books if they were "too hard" (the ones I remember were Animal Farm and The Hunger Games, both of which my parents were fine with me reading) and would be very loud about giving the neurodivergent kids calculators on tests. This led to there being two groups in the class: the "smart kids" (gifted kids + neurotypicals) and the "dumb kids" (everyone else). The smart kids extended their reach to other classes, and liked to show their smartness with maturity, like using musically constantly, ditching class, and dating. Enter the Smallcock Elementary cheating scandal.

So, it all started with the head of the smart kids who I'll call Kate. Kate was dating Jack, and had started early in the year. Everyone thought Kate was super cool and mature. In like November, Nate and Izzy started dating. Note that all of these kids except Jack were in Ms. Aloof's class. In around January, Vivian came out as a lesbian again and asked Kate out. Kate rejected her, but it kind of sparked an idea in her head. She started talking to me and her bestie, Anne, about what would happen if you dated more than one person, and me and Anne were like no. Cheating bad.

And then Anne got together with Leo, but a guy called Brent who was notoriously unpopular told Leo that Anne was cheating on him with Vivian, so Leo decided to pick up another girl. He settled on Ava, a nice girl from Ms. Weirdname's class who had no way of knowing what was happening- especially since it was her first year at the school. Leo told Nate and Jack about this, and Nate told Anne, dumped Izzy, and asked Anne out. Anne told Ella from Ms. Weirdname's class, who then tried to set me up with Brent by telling me he had a crush on me. But Brent was one of the "dumb kids" so while I made an effort to be nicer to him, I never asked him out. He never asked me out, either. That is the end of my involvement in the story.

But Anne didn't dump Leo. She told Kate, and Kate took it as the all clear to ask out Zed. Zed and Kate lasted all of two weeks before Kate started feeling guilty, so she dumped him. Zed was sad and Izzy made him feel better, so he asked her out. The two were relatively stable for the rest of the year and were basically friends who called each other girlfriend and boyfriend. But Zed complained to Nate and Leo. Nate was close friends with Jack, and told him. Jack got really upset and wanted to be seen holding hands with a girl just to show Kate what it was like, and somehow settled on Vivian. Kate blew up at Jack and said that she was only doing it to gauge whether or not he was a piece of crap for his secret admirer. The "secret admirer" was supposedly Hilda, who was a known boy hater. Hilda denied this vehemently. Either way, Jack apologized and he and Kate stayed together for the rest of 5th grade.

This mess led Kate to talk to Anne about dumping Leo, since she suddenly cared about faithfulness. Anne was like ??? This was your idea bestie, but then Hilda spilled the tea to Ava, who immediately dumped Leo and stopped dating. Anne then realized it would be very funny if Leo was completely bitchless, so she dumped him. Leo was pissed and asked out Izzy, who said no. Leo didn't get any more girls.

But remember Ms. Bitch? Yeah, she's suddenly relevant. She pulled aside Leo and Kate and told them to each take out a student of her choice or she'd make sure they didn't go to middle school the next year. Her choices were the girl who still openly picked her nose and chewed on her toenails during class, and the boy who probably should've been in a special needs class with how disruptive he was. Leo sucked it up, the two were a thing for a week, and then the girl's parents were like no. Y'all are too young to date. And that was the end. Meanwhile, Kate couldn't make herself do it and insisted she was being faithful to Jack. Kate ended up having to write an apology to the guy, but was let off the hook. Like two weeks later, I swore Ms. Bitch out, and we were promoted. Fuck her.

Moral of the story: you can know you're gay in elementary school but goddamn do not date during that period

woah

Notes: This song is amazing, this band is amazing and I missed my main man, so enjoy lol ❤️ If you’d like to check out my other works, you can find them on my Masterlist 😉

I've got a secret plan to love you and I do so night and day

And I always stand right by you, have your back in every way

And you wish that I could save you and I wish that I could too

But if you cause too much pain for me I'll leave if I have to

He stood up from the hotel bed and began to get dressed, and as she stared at his figure, she wondered until when was she going to put up with this

But I think about you constantly all through the night and day

And I toss and turn in bed at night and hope it goes away

But it never does and when I wake and you're not next to me

I remember where you are, I hope your girl forgives me

“Are you leaving already?” She asked

“You know I have to” He looked at her “We can’t have people suspecting this” He motioned to the space between them “I would be fucked if they did” He scoffed

“Excuse me?” She asked, hurt by his lack of emotion “What do you mean by that?” She couldn’t have felt more offended, even if she chose to

“What, Y/N? Look, we fuck every once in a while, we have a good time but that’s it!” He chuckled, as he tied up his sneakers “Don’t try to turn this into something that it isn’t” He stood up

“Like what?” She asked angrily

“You know what? I’ll see you later” He winked, and walked out the door of her hotel room

Do I need you?

You seem to think I do

Can't seem to see through anything that you do

Oh, ooohhh, the things you make me do

Y/N was walking down one of the dark arena hallways, when a pair of strong arms grabbed her from behind, pushing her inside of one of the locker rooms

“Aren’t you gonna talk to me?” He asked, with his lips glued to her ear

“No, and let me go! I have work to do”

“You’ve been ignoring me for three days straight! Why is that, baby?” As his lips made contact with her skin, trailing down her neck

“Roman, just let me go. This is not the place and DEFINITELY not the time”

“I miss you” He whispered “Y/N, baby, you hurt my feelings when you treat me like this” He buried his face in her hair and caressed her body softly

She scoffed “As if you had any”

“Hey” He turned her around so she could face him “What’s the attitude about?” He looked into her eyes, and saw the resentment they held

“Is this because of what I said in your hotel room?” He sighed

“If you know, then why play dumb?” She spat

“C’mon Y/N, I’m sorry, ok?” He hugged her waist “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’m an asshole! Please forgive me?” He pouted “Please, baby? I hate when you get mad at me” He begged with his eyes

“You don’t deserve it, you know” She crossed her arms in front of her chest

“Don’t be such a bitter bitch...It’s hotter when you’re MY bitch” He teased

When she tried to hold back a cackle, he knew he had won again

I should know better than to follow your lead wherever you go

Through the raging rivers, stones and alley ways we go

Sometimes I wonder if you really know where you take me to

But your radio is on so loud I can't get through to you

But if everything's ok with you then it's ok with me

You are such a little boy with you're big philosophy

But I'm not a little girl, I am a woman, don't you know?

I'm packing up my toys, I don't want to play anymore

“I don’t want to do this anymore” She said, watching him turn around and get dressed again - as he did every time.

“What are you talking about?” He frowned, as he looked for his shirt

“I don’t want to see you anymore, I’m done with this bullshit”

“You’re breaking up with me?” He laughed, in disbelief

“Well technically, in order to break up with someone you need to be with them in the first place”

“Not this again” He rolled his eyes in annoyance “Why do you always have to get feelings involved, huh? For fucks sake, can’t you ENJOY a one night stand like everybody else?” He threw his hands up in the air

“One night stand?” She widened her eyes in surprise “Do you call fucking almost every night for two years straight a ‘one night stand’ ?”

“Sexually speaking, we couldn't be any more compatible if we tried - so what the fuck do you want me to do? You’re a good fuck to me and I’m a good fuck to you! Why would I search in clubs and bars for something I have next door?” He tugged on his hair out of frustration “I don’t have to date you to like you, Y/N” He sat down beside her on the bed, and caressed her face delicately “You know I like you, don’t you, baby?”

“Yeah I know” She slapped his hand away “You like me when your dick is inside of me”

“Y/N” He sighed

“Get the fuck out” She kicked him on his lower back, in a repeated attempt to shove him out of the bed “Get out!”

“I’m leaving!” He said, grabbing his jacket

“Out!” She threw one of her heels at him, and her aim made it so it nailed him sharply in the hip

“I said I’m fucking leaving” He grabbed the door handle “Crazy bitch!” He said loudly enough for her to hear as he left

But what he didn’t hear were her sobs, which lasted the entire weekend

Do I need you?

You seem to think I do

Can't seem to see through anything that you do

Oh, ooohhh, the things you make me do

Six months had passed. Y/N had transferred to Smackdown, leaving Roman and all of their bitter memories together with Monday Night Raw, and for once in her life, is truly happy. That night, as she approached her car in the parking lot, she spotted none other than Roman himself leaning against the drivers’ door of her vehicle

And how can you smile at me when you know just what you can do

And it's not fair to me cause you know that I can never have you

How can you make me feel so good but then you make me feel so bad

You know that you are the baddest love that I've never had

“Hi, baby” He smiled sheepishly “I missed you” He tried to hug her, but she dismissed him

*It’s not going to be as easy as I thought* He mentally said to himself

“Can I talk to you for a minute? I wanted to apolog-”

“What are you doing here, Roman?” She asked sharply

“I got transferred to Smackdown”

“Good for you” She nodded once and continued “Now, if you excuse me, I’m really tired” She pointed towards her car

“Y/N” He cupped her cheek “Please, just hear me out? I regret everything I did, baby. I mean it! I should have never treated you like that, you don’t deserve it! You’re a beautiful, smart, sexy woman and it was a huge mistake to take you for granted” He brushed his lips softly against hers “Tell me you forgive me, I beg you, please, baby”

“I forgive you and then what? Everything goes back to what it used to be? You treating me like shit? No, Roman. This is not fair to me” She shook her head

“And you’re absolutely right! That will NEVER happen again! I give you my word, baby. Just give me one more chance and I promise I’ll make it up to you” His long fingers stroked the back of her neck lightly, making her miss what they once had.

That was until her phone rang, and the first chords of the Davy Jones Locket song echoed through the parking lot, remembering her of what she had now.

She smiled, as the song continued “No, I have to go” She took his hand off her face and entered the car to go meet the owner of that ringtone.

I've got my own man now, he treats me the way that you never could

And now you're all like "I should’ve, could’ve, would..."

But I'm afraid you've missed the train, you were too busy playing games

And now our story comes to an end, you ain't my lover or my friend

And when I am walking down the aisle oh so happily

Then you'll be saying "it could’ve, should’ve been me."

“Rumor has it, you’re getting married” Roman said, leaning against her office’s door

“Wow, news travels fast in this business, huh?” She answered, not paying too

much attention to him

“Can I see the ring?”

“Why? Want to buy a new one for your wife?” She scoffed

He decided to ignore her tone “Can I know who the lucky guy is?”

“Will it change anything if you do?” She continued to read her papers

“Can you stop answering my questions with other questions?”

“Will you stop asking me personal questions then?”

He chuckled softly “I missed that acid humor of yours”

“What do you want Roman?” She glared at him

“Your happiness” But this time, he meant it

“Now, that’s a bad taste joke” She laughed bitterly

“I know you don’t believe me, but I do”

“Right” She said dismissively

“Can you tell me who it is?”

“I figure, if you know I’m getting married then you also know who the groom is. Why hear old news again?”

“It’s Drew, isn’t it?” He asked defeatedly

She sighed “Yes, Roman. It’s Drew, are you happy now?”

“When is the wedding?”

“October. Why are you suddenly so interested in my love life?”

“I need to know how much time I have to kidnap you before you commit the biggest mistake of your life” He joked, but deep down, he meant it

“I’m pretty sure I’ve already committed that one” She said, intentionally making eye contact with him

“I love you, Y/N. Always have”

“You have a funny way of showing it” She murmured

“I’m sorry, babe...but I felt trapped. I didn’t knew how to express what I was feeling and I was so confused” He locked his gaze with hers “I would do everything different now, I swear I would”

She ignored his pleading eyes, and returned her gaze to her paperwork “I’m afraid that time is gone, Roman...There’s nothing left to do”

If you need me, I will not hear thee

Stay away from me, trying to decieve me

Oh, oh, ohhh the things you make me do

Oh the things you'll never make me do

Oh the things you’ll never make me do

Roses are red, violets are blue and so are you

One year later, Y/N is gathering her personal belongings from her office, her pregnancy doesn’t allow her to travel with the company any more, so she’s going to be working only from her home office for the foreseeable future. A knock on her door made her look up

“I heard the stork will be visiting you soon” Roman said

“Yeah, apparently she will”

“How far along are you?” He approached her carefully

“Just turned four months”

“Baby is popping out of nowhere, huh? Until a week ago you had no bump at all, and now” He reached his hand to touch her belly, but stopped midway

“It’s okay, Ro, you can touch it” She encouraged him

He smiled widely and rested his big hand against her tiny bump

“Do you know what you’re having?” He asked softly

“Girl” She smiled brightly “Regan”

“Even got her a name already? Damn baby, you’re fast- Sorry I shouldn’t have called you that” He said weakly

“It’s ok, don’t worry about it” She tried to hide the nostalgia the pet name brought to her

“I wish...” He trailed off

“Don’t. Don’t go there, please”

“You can still run away with me, you know?” He smirked, teasingly

“I’m sure you would look great holding a female version of Drew” She tried to joke

“As long as you birth it, I don’t care who made it. Although I wish it was me” He tried, one last time

“Maybe in another life, Ro” She smirked sadly, as she reached the door

“Do you promise?” He asked

“I’ll see you around” Smiling widely, she made her way out the arena doors, leaving him behind, for the second time (in that life).

But who knows what can happen in the next one?...

Please, if you’re comfortable with it, let me know your thoughts on this? Feedbacks are always appreciated 🥰😘

[disasteralley]

Hello! I just found your blog and I really like your writing! I saw that you wanted more bnha requests so I'm here to provide - If your willing to do this could I please have fluff HCs of Bakugou & Todoroki with an older sister (who's *maybe* a high ranked Pro or just general sibling hcs)? Platonic of course. Please and thank you! If not that's 100% okay! I read your rules but there was nothing about platonic x readers. Take all the time you need with this and have a good day/night! Take care!

i—!!!!! yes,,,,, todoroki and bakugou own my dumb heart <3 as an older sister,,, i had fun with this; you definitely provided mwah (also this got so long i’m sorry ejfkckslalw)

BAKUGO KATSUKI:

YOU ARE 90% OF THE REASON HE WANTS IS GOING TO BE THE NO.1 HERO

SURe, all might is cool, but being better than his older sister??? this boy is gonna be #1 solely to piss you off. i don’t make the rules

you constantly feel the need to one up each other and becoming #1 is part of that

and you definitely had one of the most chaotic childhoods ever

the pair of you REDEFINEd the term competitive like holy shit

sibling rivalry like you’ve never seen it

no the doorway is not big enough for you both to fit through but you’ll be damned if you don’t try because no way in hell is the other one being the first in the room

and there was also that time you both nearly blew the house up

wasn’t fun, you both burnt your eyebrows off

you and katsuki constantly just throw fists at each other in public places, giving your dad heart palpatations and your mum an involuntary tick yknow

but your brother pushed you to be better and stronger and you grew a lot from each other’s competitive streak

and you’re FIERCELY protective of him

hurt your little brother and honest to god it’s your villain origin story like you can and will kill for the little shit

it goes both ways!! he may call you a bitch at every opportunity, but if someone lays a finger on you he’s gonna blow their asses to hell

when the league kidnapped him? shiggy damn near passed away when you showed up, putting the devil to shame with your temper <3

you probably have a cool quirk called combustion or detonate or something

it’s pretty strong, but you got to the top 10 by your own merit and hard work, not just on raw power

you’re hot on hawks and endeavour’s heels and thEY KNOW IT. the bakugo name is one very well known in the pro hero world — both from the UA festival and your own actions

TODOROKI SHOTO:

no, listen, you’re a todoroki? trauma. so much trauma. but this is FLUFF so—

basing this on biological probability, but you’ve likely got a fire quirk; this means you’re a pretty strong hero, since it’s an offensive quirk

and dear old dad was escatic but this isn’t about your old man

shoto’s kinda closed off but you take after your mum and are the first person he comes to when he needs someone to talk to

the SOFTEST sibling dynamic ever i swear

total opposite of the bakugo siblings like

when he was little you used to sit with him when he couldn’t sleep or had a nightmare or was scared

and you’d hum him this song rei used to sing to you when you were little

sometimes you still hear him humming it under his breath when he’s stressed or scared

despite your ambitions and goals as a pro hero, one of japan’s top, your siblings come first and your baby brother is top of that list

don’t get me wrong, he can be a little shit and you have totally considered smothering him with a pillow

he shuts you out a lot, despite it. every now and then he shuts down

you get in the habit of just sitting with him when it’s like that. you don’t say or do anything, you just sit next to him so he’s not alone. it’s enough

soba saturday!! it’s a thing

it is i’m not wrong

every saturday you take shoto to his favourite eatery and treat him to cold soba; sometimes fuyumi and natsuo join you two

you’d been going to see your mum for a few years when shoto asked if he could come with you, you visit rei together regularly now

at the UA sports festival, you were stood front row, practically hanging over the railings, cheering him on louder than anyone else — it was the first time class 1-A saw him smile

Haikyuu boys relationships as: Melanie Martinez songs :

Suna, Iwaizumi, Tsukishima, Terushima, Akaashi, Kageyama, Bokuto

Suna Rintarō - play date

We're just playing hide and seek

It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you

I don't want to play no games

I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you

Everything is a game to this little shit, not your typical love story that’s for Sure. He slide into your DMs and asked if you were “dtf”.....you said yes because idc who wouldn’t? One time turns into casual sex to spending the nights and going to the movies together. At this point you assumed you guys were dating, and I don’t blame you because lowkey I feel like Suna wouldn’t ask you out and you guys do everything that couples do. It was chill until you caught him texting other bitches then he pulls the ole “ We were never dating” and shrugs his shoulder. You literally had to ask this man out and now he’s faithful or whatever. Girl if you don’t start beating this man.

Iwaizumi Hajime- training wheels

“Love everything you do, When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do”

I just need a moment because I’m simpingfor iwa. Okay but he looks hard on the outside but is a total softy for his s/o. He sounds so warm even when he’s calling you a dumbass. He loves you from the bed head and bad hair days to the you drooling in your sleep and burning dinner. He just can’t get enough of you, you’re so lucky! >.<

Tsukishima Kei- alphabet boy

“You won the spelling bee now

But are you smarter than me now?

You're the prince of the playground”

Have you ever had someone insult you so much that you actually question if they secretly hate you? That’s what it’s like dating tsukki. Always talking down to you and dumbing down everything when you’re around. Thus fucker is always so smug bringing degrading outside of the bedroom. If you’re a push over he will keep doing it to he sees that it actually hurt you, he never intended to ever hurt you on purpose. Would make it up to you by doing little things he never does, if you don’t notice he’s going to apologize with his words.

Terushima Yūji - Carsousel

“And it's all fun and games till someone falls inlove “

I don’t believe you guys got the typical confession then start dating at the start no instead it started off with friends with benefits. Unlike suna this man folded first, and cuffed you because he saw you were on the same bullshit as him. Most definitely was in love with you since the first time you guys hooked up he just didn’t know that yet. He may have been a shitty fuck boy but now he’s a loving boyfriend.

Akaashi Keiji - Teddy bear

“I threw you out, I didn't outgrow you I just didn't know you. But now you’re back it’s so terrifying how you parrilize me”

Friends to strangers to lovers ? I feel like Kaashi doesn’t make time for people when he doesn’t want anything to do with them. Y’all used to be friends before you drifted apart both not having time for eachother. Once you both have your shit together you bump into eachother and get some coffe I believe you will hit it off and become attached at the hip. Most definitely often says “ I won’t lose you again.”

Kageyama Tobio - Pity party

“Maybe if I knew all of them well I wouldn't have been trapped inside this hell that holds me.”

Kags doesn’t mean to but he believes he can never truly get along with others because of what happened in middle school. His mind is constantly thinking “ does my s/o think I’m annoying or think I’m too uptight?” But when you smile at him that worry melts away temporarily.

“Think I just remembered something. I think I left the faucet running. Now my words are filling up the tub.”

Poor baby never knows when to shut up but that is also a good thing sometimes. One second you were telling him how cool his spike was then he’s confessing how he’s been in love with you for a year. He most definitely covered his mouth after saying that, he was about to run away until you told him you felt the same way (who wouldn’t). Now you guys are happily dating and have a puppy (he convinced you okay?).

125 How I Met Your Mother Prompts

More prompts this one is mega long but broken up by character. I think it’s a pretty good mix of funny and angsty. Break at 15.

Barney Stinson

1 “You know what NAME needs to do. He needs to stop being sad. When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be awesome instead. True story.”

2 “A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.”

3 “ It's going to be legen...wait for it...and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant cause the second half of that word is...dairy!”

4 “Suit up!”

5 “Believe it or not, I was not always as I am today.”

6 “I realized that I'm searching, searching for what I really want in life. And you know what? I have absolutely no idea what that is.”

7 “Every Halloween, I bring a spare costume, in case I strike out with the hottest boy/girl at the party. That way, I have a second chance to make a first impression.”

8 “Whatever you do in this life, it’s not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.”

9 “Three days. We wait three days to call a man/woman, because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait... True story.”

10 “There’s three rules of cheating: 1. It’s not cheating if you’re not the one who’s married. 2. It’s not cheating if his/her name has two adjacent vowels. 3. And it's not cheating if he’s/she’s from a different area code.”

17 “Okay, pep talk! You can do this, but to be more accurate, you probably can’t. You’re way out of practice and he’s/she’s way too hot for you. So, remember, it’s not about scoring. It’s about believing you can do it, even though you probably can’t. Go get ‘em, tiger!”

31 “Oh, we're busting apple bags? I can bust apple bags.“

38 “I just finished a seven-day cleanse.” “I thought you just started that yesterday.” “I finished early, okay?”

39 “NAME! I just had a great idea!” “Oh, do whatever you want to me, just don't wake me up.”

40 “Okay, I've missed you. Not in a 'we're gonna make out' way, not even in an 'I forgive you' way. Just in an 'I've missed you' way.”

41 “I may not love you the way you love me, but I do love you.”

42 “But ... umm.”

43 “Why am I constantly looking for reasons not to be happy?”

44 “Oh, that’s right. I’m alone.”

55 "Sorry, Peter. We're grown ups now, we can't fly to Nevrland with you anymore."

57 "People make fun of the guy/girl who stays home every night doing nothing, but the truth is that guy/girl is a genius.”

58 “Love doesn't make sense! You can't logic your way into or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it or else we're lost and love is dead, and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do.”

59 “Everyone has an opinion on how long it takes to recover from a breakup.”

60 “There are a lot of little reasons why the big things in our lives happen.”

61 “There are two big days in any love story: the day you meet the guy/girl of your dreams and the day you marry him/her.”

62 ““I’m crazy about you. I think we should be together. What do you say?” “Yes. No. Maybe.” “Those are the three options.”

63 “The littlest thing can cause a ripple effect that changes your life.”

64 “It's kind of insane how much happened in just a day and a half.”

65 “Whether a gesture's charming or alarming, depends on how it's received.”

66 “Because sometimes even if you know how something's gonna end that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride.”

67 “Shouldn't we hold out for the person who doesn't just tolerate our little quirks but actually kinda likes them?”

68 “I used to be in such a hurry all the time. Everything was so urgent. Now I figured, if it's going to happen it'll happen when it happens. I'm not going anywhere, he’s/she's not going anywhere. What's the rush, right?”

69 “I think for the most part if you're really honest with yourself about what you want out of life, life gives it to you.”

70 “We spend so much effort trying to keep parts of our lives hidden, even from our closest friends, that in those rare times when we do open up, it's amazing how minor those secrets all end up being.”

71 “You may think your only choices are to swallow your anger or throw it in someone's face, but there's a third option: You can just let it go, and only when you do that is it really gone and you can move forward.”

72 “I'm sorry, when I'm excited I abbreviate words I shouldn't.”

73 “We gotta wait for the real thing, no matter how tough it gets.”

74 “When you believe in people, people come through.”

75 “If you love something, you can never let it go. Not even for a second. Or it's gone forever.“

76 “Hey ref! Check your voicemail, I think you've missed a few calls!“

77 “Turns out, when you projectile vomit on skates, you roll right into the spray.“

78 “NAME, if you asked a hundred people: 'Who's the worst person you could possibly date?' They'd all say 'your therapist', except the ones saying 'NAME'.”

79 “Sometimes our best decisions are the ones that don't make any sense at all.“

80 “We've always been a trio! We're right up there with Batman and Robin and Alfred. Romeo and Juliet and the apothecary. Salt and pepper and cumin.“

Lily Aldrin

81 “You guys dated before. That time counts. The clock doesn't reset to zero. It un-pauses from where you left off.”

82 “We struggle so hard to hold on to these things that we know are gonna disappear eventually. And that’s really noble.”

83 “You can’t just skip ahead to where you think your life should be.”

84 “I know it's a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say 'yep, that was a mistake.' So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you'd go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not.”

85 “Yes, I'm in a rotten mood. No, I don't want to talk about it. Yes, this has booze in it. No, it's not my first.”

86 “The 'no more surprises'-thing is the best part of being married.”

87 “So, what do you want to do tonight? Drink ourselves blind, set a car on fire? Oh, watch a movie that doesn't start with a desk lamp jumping on top of a capital 'I'?”

88 “Baby, you're like 20 slutty chicks all rolled into one.” “Sweet-talk is not gonna change my mind!”

91 “Your heart's talking to you, NAME. Do you have the guts to listen to it?”

92 “I don't care if the dishes aren't done, okay? If you care, you do it.” “Great, then I don't care if you have an orgasm. If you care, you do it.”

93 “Who wants hot-wings?” “I'm in... or maybe we should just pour hot-sauce on NAME, since he's/she’s a total chicken.”

94 “I hate how you're always right.” “It's my best, and most annoying, trait.“

95 “Sex now, we'll do the foreplay after.“

96 “NAME check it! Three blond babies drinking bad-decision-juice at eight o'clock.”

97 “If you keep lying to me, if you keep cutting me out of decisions, if you keep using words like winning and losing when you talk about our marriage, you are going to lose me.”

98 “Why not just say goodbye to the bad things?”

99 “Say goodbye to all the times you felt lost, to all the times it was a no instead of a yes, to all the scrapes and bruises, to all the heartache.”

100 “Where’s the poop, NAME? Where’s the poop?”

Marshall Eriksen

101 “Hey I have given up peeing in the shower for you!”

102 “Why does he/she keep doing this? He meets them. He/She likes them way too much. He/She goes way too big too soon. He/She ends up blowing it. I can't take this any more. He's/She’s fallen in love so many times now.”

105 “It's a little late but WHAT THE BALLS IS THIS?”

106 “Hey baby, it's me. Can you bail me out of jail? I thought I saw big foot in Central Park so I tackled him. But it turned out to be Russell Brand.”

107 “Being in a relationship is hard. And committing, making sacrifices it's hard. But if it's the right person, it's easy. Looking at that guy/girl, and knowing he’s/she's all you really want out of life, that should be the easiest thing in the world. And if it's not like that then he’s/she's not the one.”

108 “Here's the thing, NAME. I'm snuggly. You're not. Who wouldn't want to snuggle up next to this business on a Sunday morning? Wrapped in comfort and it's raining outside and there's muffins warming in the oven. I'm cuddly bitch. Deal with it.”

109 “He’s:She's never seen Star Wars?! NAME, the only people in the universe who haven't seen Star Wars are the characters in Star Wars. And that's cause they lived them, NAME! That's cause they lived the Star Wars.”

110 “Love died. The love that made you all believe in love, that's dead now.”

111 “I’ve never asked NAME to do anything ‘no questions asked’ because I never wanted to. He’s/She’s the love of my life. I never keep anything from him/her.”

112 “Happy Slapsgiving!”

113 “This is what I miss about being in a couple. I always had someone to go to concerts with, or farmer's market, or brunch. God, I miss brunch!” “Well, I guess you could - well, you could try going to brunch alone.” “Oh, you don't think I've tried?” [FLASHBACK]  “Table for one.” “One... Couple?” “Um, no, just me.” “Really? For brunch?” “You're right. Who am I kidding?” [Leaves restaurant. End of Flashback] “Oh, the Popover Pantry! That place is great. Can we go get brunch tomorrow?” “Of course, sweetie.” “Can I go with you guys?” “Really? For brunch?”

114 “That’s life, you know. We never end up where you thought you wanted to be.”

115 “That cake. Best cake I ever had. Seriously, my stomach was like, ‘Hey bro, I don’t know what you’re eating cause I don’t have any eyes but it’s basically awesome, so keep sending it down Gullet Alley.’”

116 “Revenge fantasies never work out the way you want.”

117 “I’m a good boyfriend/girlfriend in my sleep.”

118 “You have to let me dance my own battles.”

119 “One good deed leads to another and another.”

120 “Look at us, riding around in a limo, eating hot dogs…it’s like we’re the president.”

121 “All hail beercules!”

122 “I don’t know what to do with my hands. What do I normally do with my hands?”

123 “Hey, baby.” “We hate NAME now. Get on board or the sexting stops.” “NAME’s a son of a bitch!”

124 “Are these chicken wings or angel wings? God, I love these things.”

125 “Oh, and you think you can step up to me? To me?!”

Hi my Tumblr Peeps😁 Sorry I haven't been doing much on Tumblr nor messaging😅I was super occupied😅 Anyways I figured I'd post this character x reader story for my friend @cookies-n-chaos 😁👍I really hope you like it😁👍

The Girlfriend and dog protector (Cyborg x reader-+18 for language and threats of drugging,violence,and animal abuse)

Genre: Comfort and protection

Cyborg misses you a lot. He has been fighting crime in jump city about every day lately. The most he was able to do is to video chat with you. Cyborg felt bad about not being able to see you, so he decided to come to visit you one day to surprise you.

That day Cyborg managed to find a day to visit you. When he came to your house, he knocked on the door. "Come in.", you said. When Cyborg came to the door he said, "Surprise, (female reader name).". You run up to Cyborg to hug him, then when you hugged him the hug has gotten tighter you started to sob. "What's the matter, honey bun? Why are you crying", Cyborg said as he started to worry about you. He hugged you back as you kept sobbing, then said,"You know you can tell me anything, babe."

Then as you're crying you said,"Well you noticed that the dog isn't in the living room right?,". "Come thinking of it, I just realized that when you were telling me that, but I can hear the dog whine wanting to come see both of us.", Cyborg answered. "Well I'm scared to let (female reader's dog's name) out lately", you continued sobbing. "Well tell me what happened, cuteness. I'm a good listener, you know."

You explained to Cyborg, "Well I was taking (female reader's dog's name) outside to go potty then (s)he came to a certain neighbor of mine and (s)he smelling the neighbor like he had dangerous stuff in his pockets. (S)he was only sniffing, barking, and being curious about him, and I explained to the neighbor that. The next that happened was the neighbor said well I better train (him/her) better, especially to stay away from and not sniff people and not go near anyone, because if he keeps seeing (him/her) go near one person and/or having one foot off of my property and/or seeing one person, he will knock both me and the dog out take us to his place chain me where I can't go anywheres, then he when I wake up he will drug my dog, then shoot and stab (him/her) to death and keep doing so after (s)he dies right in front of me"then you cried more and more feeling defenseless. "That's why I had to keep (female reader's dog's name) in the bathroom. I haven't even invited anyone over. (S)he's holding it for a few days. After he made threats I just felt like he called me a terrible dog owner and I've kept (him/her) in the house, since then",you cried. Cyborg was very shocked that you've told him that. He ended up feeling bad for you and (female reader's dog's name) both.

"How long has (s)he been holding it for?", Cyborg asked. "For about a week.", you answered sobbingly. Cyborg then asked, "And that incident you and (female reader's dog's name) ran into with the neighbor, did that happened a week ago?"."Yes. It did. He made those threats a week ago.", you answered as you've kept sobbing.

"Look, (female reader name). You're lucky (female reader's dog's name) is still alive, because you don't need to keep (him/her) in the house constantly, just because he threatened you with torchering and over killing your dog right in front of you. (S)he might be on to something. He might be hiding something. I'm sorry you had to go through this and it will be okay.",Cyborg said, then hugged you tighter then said,"And I don't care what anyone says. You're a great dog owner (female reader name)"."Thank you, Cyborg.", you said as you stopped sobbing. "You're welcome, anytime. And to also let you know, he has no right threatening you nor the dog like he did.", Cyborg said then he asked, "So do you remember what he looks like?". You then told Cyborg what the neighbor looks like, so gave Cyborg the description of the neighbor as best of your knowledge. "That's all I needed to know and hear (female reader name). Go on and take her outside to go potty now. She could use a bathroom break. I will catch up sweetheart.", said Cyborg as he winked at you after he finished saying what he had to say to you. "Okay, then. If you say so, Cyborg.",you said as you started to smile for the first time eversince the incident with the neighbor.

You took your dog, (female reader's dog's name) outside the first time, eversince you and (s)he ran into the incident with the neighbor. Speaking of the neighbor, he just came outside too. He's very furious that he just saw you and your dog outside again. You and (female reader's dog's name) were minding your own businesses and completely stayed on your property and you and the dog both haven't had one body part off your property.

Cyborg was also minding his own business. He was washing the dishes at your place so he can surprise you with that. The neighbor marched himself over to your house. "I thought I told you not to fucken, told you to better train your stupid dog better to stay away from everyone, not to sniff people, not to fucken go near anyone (him/her) which I fucken mean go near one person and/or having one foot off of my property and/or seeing one person, you dumb bitch!", the neighbor yelled. "Please. My dog has been holding it for a week and niether of us has went outside once this week.",you pleaded and explained. Your dog barked. "Shut the fuck up you dumb mutt!" Then the neighbor continued, "And as for you, I don't give a flying fuck if your dog needed to go take a piss, a crap, or puke! It's no one else's fault but yours and your dumb dog's fault! (S)he can die from not going potty for all I fucken care! All you had to do was do as I say, or else! You should have listened! Now I will just have to over kill your dog right in front of you!"

As he was about to punch you hard enough to knock you out, Cyborg ran out of the house just in time to grab the arm the neighbor was gonna use to knock you outcold using his punch with. "I overheard every word. So don't you think about even bringing harm to my girlfriend nor her dog or things will be ugly.", Cyborg said to the neighbor. The neighbor shouted, "You can't do this to me! I have control over everyone and everything you...,", Cyborg cut the neighbor off by tightening his grip on the neighbor's arm that he was gonna knock you out with his punch with. "Ooowww!,"the neighbor cried. "I don't care what or who you you are or who you think you are or your occupation or gender you are. You don't own anyone or (anything or) everything like you think and you don't have the right to harm nor even to threaten to harm her nor her dog, just because she was smelling you and barking. I also called the cops on you and they looked at your records with multiple arrests. Apparently you have a lot of history of drug abuse, animal abuse, and domestic violence. So you will be going to jail real soon. So, they officers will makesure when you get sentenced in jail you will be in the same cell as the inmate who will be more than happy to put you in your place", Cyborg said making himself loud and clear.

Days later, the former neighbor is sentenced to prison for a long time. You and your dog are safe and sound, which means you don't have to worry about being treated with you or the dog being harmed anymore. Cyborg has been making time to visit you at least once per week, weather it's to makesure you're alright or to makesure nobody is wrongfully threatening you or Just to see you or just to spend time with you, etc... One thing is for complete sure. Cyborg, you, and your dog, (female reader's dog's name) never had to worry about that horrible neighbor you had ever again.

The End

[dramayeoja]

Goblin ❣︎ 도깨비

Kim Shin, an undefeated war general, is ultimately killed by a jealous young king named Wang Yeo. After death, Shin is revived by the gods—but his revival is by no means miraculous. He becomes a 도깨비 (dokkaebi, goblin), and is cursed. He will have to pay for all the lives he took in battle by living alone in immortality, witnessing everyone he's ever loved, die. Remaining lodged in his chest is the very sword that killed him. There is only person who can see that sword, and draw from his heart so that he can finally rest in peace: his bride... whom he's yet to meet.

Things get spoilery under the cut—you've been warned! ;)

Chipper, yeah? Haha so, right off the bat, the premises of Goblin remind me of like, a much more morbid version of the legend of King Arthur. You know, a man draws a sword from stone to prove himself the greatest king in all of Britain? Yeah. Just to be clear: this is a good thing (imo). Like, I personally think this is just such a cool idea for a drama 😍

Let's jump right in. I'm gonna be honest and say that, at first, I felt a little turned off at the female lead, Eun Tak, being nineteen (in the beginning of the show), meanwhile the male lead, Shin, is 900+ years old (but physically looks to be in his thirties). It just... rubbed me weird. But hey, the Twilight series (both the books and the movies) is exactly the same—high school girl, century-old man, bananas yet somehow romantic storyline... And I loved me some Twilight as a young adult. So I mean, I have no right to judge, really. Plus, Eun Tak soon turns twenty anyway. So that's an improvement I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ We follow her character into her late twenties, nearly thirty. So things are definitely fine by then haha! 👍

Don't let that previous bit make you think I didn't enjoy Goblin—I LOVED it. That detail is just a lil funky to me, is all. Back during my Twilight obsession days, I was nearly twenty myself, and the thought of being pursued by an older man was exciting. Hell, I mean, it still is! But now that I'm two years shy of my 30th Birthday, I feel differently sometimes. I think, LAWD get that girl away from that man, she too young for him LOL. I am definitely getting old... Enough about Twilight now, apologies! I'm only using it for the sake of conveying similarities seen in Goblin 🙏 Let's talk cast!

Kim Go Eun as Ji Eun Tak and Gong Yoo as Kim Shin

Eun Tak is a bubbly young woman with limitless energy! While still in her mother's womb, Mama Ji was involved in a hit-and-run incident which, sadly, took her life. During Mama Ji's dying moments, she prayed to anyone above that her child's life be spared. Sat on a rooftop from afar, beer in hand (lol), Shin hears her prayers, as he is a god of sorts. He appears before Mama Ji, and shows mercy to her unborn baby. Eun Tak grows up with the ability to see/speak to ghosts. Said ghosts tell her constantly that she is the goblin's bride. How do they know? A strange birthmark on the back of Eun Tak's neck tips them off. Eun Tak unfortunately was taken in by her abusive bitch of an aunt, who jabs Eun Tak every chance she gets. Her cousins are assholes. Eun Tak's aunt really only keeps her around in hopes of collecting Mama Ji's savings (intended for Eun Tak) one day. Sad, right? I mean, isn't Eun Tak being born without her mother enough as it is? Life can be so cruel 😔

Lee Dong Wook as Grim Reaper/Reaper/Wang Yeo

This is Grim Reaper (or Reaper for short), portrayed by the handsome Lee Dong Wook. His character is just this strange, not at all tech-savvy man with a constant deadpan facial expression. Said facial expression provokes so many giggles during funny moments, and drives home the longing and desperation during sad times. We learn quite a ways in that he, in his previous life (again, just in case: spoiler), was Wang Yeo G A S P ! The young king that is essentially responsible for Shin's death, as well as all the misdeeds that were done to Shin's family. Again, this is something I don't want to spoil. Well, more, anyway 😆 You gotta see it!

Yoo In Na as Kim Sun/Sunny

Kim Sun, or simply, Sunny (she loves to spell her name for people lol, S-U-N-N-Y!) is the second female lead. Yoo In Na is so gorgeous that one look at her makes you feel like such a potato hahhah. 🥔 This fact about her beauty bleeds over into the show itself—every time another character meets Sunny, the camera does this slow motion pan into her lmao. She really is that pretty! Sunny's personality comes across so odd at first... Having watched all of the episodes now, I feel the intention of Goblin's creators was to make her seem like a soul searching for something it has lost in a previous life. idk if that makes sense, but yeah. She has this way about her, like she's disconnected from others, and is sifting through the haziness to find this thing she feels she's lost.

Yook Sungjae (my BtoB bias 😍) as Yoo Deok Hwa

Sungjaeeee ahhhh 💘💘💘 I had to gush, sorry! Hehe. Meet Deok Hwa: unofficial nephew of Shin. Deok Hwa is a third-generation chaebol (heir to a family-owned corporation) and spoiled man-child, always seeking his credit card hahaha 🤣 But I love him so much. Between Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, and BtoB Sungjae? Man, I'm dying over here! Deok Hwa's true identity is revealed later in the show, which if you haven't seen it yet, I won't spoil it. Just watch. But his ending sucked. Like where did he go? Everyone else's endings got tied up neatly except for his. What gives, man? 🤔 Edit: I was actually reading an online conversation about what happened to Deok Hwa online—someone jokingly said he was reincarnated as BtoB Sungjae LOL 💯

Other various comments

AMAZING OST 😍😍😍

Good pace, episodes drag at times. A little confusing in the beginning, but you get there eventually. Maybe this is just me though, viewers who are a little more keen than I will likely catch on sooner ;) My mom was a little confused as well, and actually said at one point, "This should be called the 'what-the-hell-is-going-on' show," hahaha. Like I said though, we quickly moved on from this, and loved all the things. There are actually, I think, three (?) specials that were made to aid viewers in making sure they understand the complex events and relationships clearly. I haven't watched them yet, but want to!

Quite repetitive tbh, as there are unnecessary flashbacks often. Probably for two reasons: the obvious of reminding you what's what, but also to create suspense. Typical duration of most tvN dramas seems to be about 16 episodes, so it's possible these flashbacks and things are, for lack of a better word, filler. I don't know how rigid or lax tvN is about having a drama set at 16 eps, but I get the idea this is their preference. Seeing as so many of their programs on average last that long, I feel this must be what they want. Such has the potential to affect the writing, either positively or negatively.

A continuation of the previous bullet: I think Goblin's creators oversimplified the plot at times. I'm unsure if this is due to possible pressures to meet a specific requirement(s), or what. I'd rather forgo ALL restrictions and let creativity flow, let the story be told without pressure to fill a specific amount of time, etc. but TV production is weird. And contracts are weird. tvN might not to blame for these issues, could simply be that storytelling isn't always easy, man. I'm a writer myself, it's hard! I'M being redundant now lmfao! Anyway, yeah ~

Absolutely LOVED all the scenes that were filmed on location in beautiful Québec City, Canada 🍁 Tall, romantic trees, the fall foliage, historic buildings... sigh. Now all I need is Gong Yoo chasing me and we're all set! ;D

In addition to Shin being revived, my crush on Gong Yoo has been revived as well LOL. He fine 🔥 A classic K drama crush, can't go wrong with GY👌

Gong Yoo is always stellar at doing kiseu (kiss) scenes, and in Goblin, he does not disappoint. He really goes at it 🙈 which is preferred vs. the typical person kissing a stone statue that you see so often. He even did a lift kiss with Kim Go Eun that was reminiscent of THEE Coffee Prince kiss he did with actress Yoon Eun Hye! 😍

I never saw it coming, how the sword would wind up being removed from Shin's chest. I worried what the writers were going to do, how would they approach this, and just wow. The way things turned out is such a relief. It also told me that Shin's love for Eun Tak is true. I mean, I didn't need that scene to occur for me to know that, rather it just adds extra oomph that yes, Shin really does love Eun Tak. He didn't want her to suffer knowing she was responsible for his "death," so he thought quick and used her hands WITH his hands asdfghjkl. How dumb (bc noooo now you're gonna die) and amazing he is at the same time 💜

I love how Shin made his way back to Eun Tak after passing away, it was such a powerful scene. I could really feel his struggle, and kept yelling at my TV for him to stand up lol!

Devastated that Eun Tak died 😭 I really thought as many times as she'd cheated death before, she would somehow continue cheating death again and again for the rest of her days. But no... What a selfless person, Ji Eun Tak. Her being reincarnated as Park So Min gave me some closure. Not the closure I wanted, but closure.

The relationship between Shin and Reaper is ADORABLE. Whenever they interact with each other, they just have this great dialogue. Shin pings, Reaper pongs, Reaper pings, Shin pongs. It's great 😄 I still laugh about the slow-mo scene of them returning from the market with green onions HAHAHA 😂

I love Sunny & Reaper ~ However, their history as Kim Sun & Wang Yeo in their past lives is so very sad. I don't even know where to start RE: my feelings on this 💔 imo, their ending kinda sucked. I just wasn't satisfied with them having had this complicated, tragic story, only to be reincarnated in this fashion that I ultimately found to be just... idk, disappointing 😩 Again, closure, but not the closure I wanted.

I thought Reaper, the other grim reapers, the name cards, the depiction of what happens immediately following death with the brewing of the tea, the afterlife, etc. was all very creative. We really don't know what awaits us when our time comes—it's interesting to wonder if it's anything like it is in Goblin 🍵

Can't stop thinking about Goblin, even though I'm now watching Thirty but Seventeen & Mr. Sunshine! I'm emotionally cheating lol halp.

Yo yo! I'm sorry I took so long to watch + write up this review! It's been a long couple of weeks for me, I wasn't always able to watch when I wanted. It was maddening 😆 But I have finally watched, and feel like the most accomplished person on the planet hahaha. xoxo 💜

[mikeshanlon]

goddd I cannot believe u have read iwwv u don't know me but for some reason we watch like.. the same shows and now books lol. anyway can I ask what were ur thoughts on the ending? like to me at least it was onvious Oliver had not done it and he wasn't gonna pull a unreliable narrator last minute (despite being an unreliable narrator) I'm talking abt the whole uhh James is a**** thing.. like what HAPPENS NEXT? is he w wren? also I feel so bad for meredith like girl love urself.. sry 4 the essay

omg yes taste!!!! Also no I’m dying to talk abt this novel so don’t apologize if anything im sorry bc I wrote way too much answering ur question LGRNLRGN

IF WE WERE VILLIANS SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT go read it if u haven’t it’s legendaric

Okay the ending!!!! AH!!!! Okay yeah so I think it’s clear Oliver did not do it, I think the ambiguity lies more whether or not James intentionally killed Richard or if it was an accident. Like, did he see Richard stumbling out in the woods hella intoxicated and think to himself that this was the perfect opportunity to get revenge for all the abuse and torture Richard had been terrorizing him with??? Did he lie to Oliver? Personally, I believe James that it was an accident… of sorts. I don’t think James set out with the intention to kill Richard at all. But Richard was goading him and fighting him and after the buildup of cruelty and tension between them over the past few months, Richard be a homophobic dick and calling James and Oliver qu*er and prodding at the most important relationship in James’ life struck a nerve. So when Richard wanted to keep fighting and hurt him again he was like fuck this and he hit Richard too hard with the hook and that in tandem with Richard being drunk caused Richard to fall and die. And, like the others, James felt awful but there was a sort of sick sense of relief.

(Also, I’m not exactly sure Oliver counts as an Unreliable Narrator. I mean he is certainly keeping some things from that detective guy but, and I was reading something from M.L. Rio about this, like he’s literally just oblivious and dumb as fuck sometimes LKGNLRGLKNRG. So idk how often he’s intentionally Unreliable but I also get what you mean)

Anyways I’m totally a believer that James is alive bc despite enjoying dark stories im like okay but I need a happy ending LGKNLKRGlkenlgneg. Like c’mon they never found the body……….. A metaphorical death and shedding of his past life bc he blames himself for Oliver taking the fall is like the MOST tragic hero Shakespearean shit ever like it just works so well!!!!!! The part where Oliver describes the last time James visited him in jail…

“Oliver I’m begging you,” he said. “I can’t do this anymore.” When I refused again, he pulled my hand across the table, kissed it, and turned to leave. I asked where he was going and he said, “Hell. Del Norte. Nowhere. I don’t know.” (343).

GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd. God. Anyways I think that was very telling of his plans. Hell (for “committing suicide”, moreso for all of his wrong doings). Del Norte is the beach that him and Oliver slept on that one night and so I feel like that place holds a lot of significance for them, but it’s a place only those two know the significance of. So, I like to think he ran away there and started a new life. He wrote that letter with the disjointed Pericles monologue I think to hint to Oliver that he was at Del Norte, if he wanted to find him, because even though his “death” was a self-punishment for ruining Oliver’s life, he still cares for him a lot and doesn’t want to be without him. Like a whole monologue about the sea????????? The fact that he literally said the monologue to Oliver while they were at Del Norte?? “To give my tongue that heat to ask your help; / Which if you shall refuse, when I am dead, / For that I am a man, pray see me buried.” LIKE WHAAAAAAAAAAT god !!!! Also water is gay<3 and in my heart Oliver goes and finds him and they like work through shit and are together.

Anyways I don’t really think he’s with Wren. Their relationship during senior year was always sort of ambiguous to me…. Like they definitely got super close, they probably were romantically involved in some capacity (since other characters like Alexander who is much more perceptive were like Oliver how did it take you this long to notice LRGNRGNK) though idk if it was like the Encompassing Love Affair Oliver thought it to be bc he’s oblivious and jealous. And also like James was very much enamored with Oliver so idk. (EDIT i just remembered they slept together LMAO but i think my point still stands) In the epilogue Wren is in London and is a recluse and doesn’t reach out to any of the Villains which like. Good for her LRGNRLG even though I hated Richard I can’t imagine like how much of a toll that took on her to see her cousin die and all their friends be like uh yeah we should let him die and then have to keep up a lie like… even though she agreed Richard was awful that has to be so heart wrenching (badumtss) and life ruining. So I think she especially wouldn’t want to be with James seeing as he essentially led Richard to fall into the lake, though I’m not sure if she knows that or not.

And Meredith!!!! Like I’ll be real sometimes she frustrates me but I think she’s also SUCH an interesting and realistic character (which is something I love about this novel, all the characters are interesting to me and I like how the female characters are portrayed.... like i LOVE Fillipa she is such a bad ass bitch but again she’s not just like. Expected to always be strong and clever like she’s got feelings too. Anyways love her). As I said before I was perusing through the author’s tumblr a bit and ppl were like “omg why did Meredith go through all the male friends” like BYEEE literally feeding into the stereotypes that made her feel insecure and weak… (Also again, they’ve known each other for four years… so its not that insane lmao). I think Meredith’s relationship with her sexuality and beauty is very interesting and relatable for a lot of women (I mean I am not. Like a seductive femme fatale like she is but LGKNKRGN). On one hand she is definitely a multifaceted person who is more than her sexuality, on the other, she’s constantly Literally Cast by Gwendolyn in sexualized roles and seen as sexualized by her friends/bf (Richard) and constantly told her worth in and out of the theatre is her body. Like there is an interesting duality about the power she possesses with her sexuality but also the extreme insecurity that is bred by being constantly sexualized and this struggle of like knowing she has worth outside of her body but also sort of … not in the eyes of others. That scene where they’re doing those exercises of their strengths and weaknesses really Hit. Anyways yes Meredith love urself queen… get a hot respectful gf… become a powerful successful legend…..

Related-ish sidenote, obviously I like James and Oliver together the most though I will say Meredith and Oliver’s relationship was interesting though ultimately unhealthy…. Like one of the aspects I like about their relationship is Oliver respects Meredith and when he realizes he is falling into that idea that Meredith is this super sexualized person he’s like hold awn that’s shitty of me… But also I think the fact of the matter is that their relationship was catalyzed by shitty stuff,,, like lust and the need for revenge. Like I honestly don’t really think they would’ve gotten together if not for the extreme animosity with Richard and the adrenaline of like that whole show run and more particularly That Night…. It feels like they got together because they were drunk and they’re attractive, which like yeah fine valid, but also, subconsciously, to be like fuck you Richard. Like, guess what I’m with the guy who you’re constantly saying doesn’t matter. And also seeking comfort and validation when their most important people are not valuing them (Richard being literally fucking awful to Meredith, James sort of pushing Oliver away—again I think subconsciously was sort of a revenge jealousy type thing where Oliver is with the person that James doesn’t really like and makes not amazing comments about being promiscuous). And then their relationship I think keeps going because like. Wow grief is a bitch and they want some comfort. Meredith is drawn to Oliver because he’s one of the only people who values her for more than just a sexual object which like is What She Deserves but their relationship is like a mess of sex and guilt and Oliver is in love with James (the parts where Meredith drags Oliver for caring more about James… iconic as she should! Like when Oliver is like sorry James is visiting me I’m not coming or when she’s like are you more jealous of him or me when they kissed for that scene….. OOP!). Anyways idk if that makes sense but I find Oliver and Meredith’s relationship interesting bc it’s not like… the worst unhealthy relationship ever or anything and I think there is genuine care and love/attraction there between them but like Oliver is never going to totally Be What Meredith deserves especially because like… he loves James more. Also the part where Meredith slaps Oliver when he gets out of jail and he’s like yeah I deserve that is so GLKNRglkenrgnrg to me.

Anyways I probably have more thots but wow. This is long. Sorry LGRNLKRGNng

First off hi. *waves excitedly* Second, I have a question that have been on my mind that involves your fav HP? Why is Draco is your favorite character? Don't get me wrong, I love him. He's my favorite boy to the series, second to Harry. But I know you're a hardcore, ride or die Draco Malfoy defender. I'm curious on why. And has it been since the beginning of the series or close to the ending? And did the movies play a part in it?

okay, this answer’s gonna be a bit long…

i’ve always loved Draco. 

usually, my love for characters that are viewed as “villains” or “bad guys” start because i just flat out tend to find those characters the most entertaining or interesting, over the regular protagonists. i don’t love “bad guys” just to be all rebellious or anything like that, i just really like them. for example, Jim Moriarty from Sherlock, Crowley from Supernatural, Norman Bates, the Joker from Batman, and more minor bad-guy types like Roman Godfrey from Hemlock Grove, Hyde on that 70s Show, Cook from Skins… the list goes on and on but i’d be here for days… and of course HP characters like Snape, Draco, Voldemort/Tom Riddle, and even Peeves. i love them. that’s how i started liking Draco at first, but naturally, when you love a character, you pay a lot more attention to them. so i started paying a lot of attention to everything Draco said and did, i loved his back story and stuff like that and i always thought about his point of view in situations where he’s normally seen as what a lot people find terrible, and i started loving him more than usual. it definitely wasn’t just because of Tom Felton playing him in the movies, (even though JKR unfairly blames him for that), but i’m also in love with Tom, so that’s kinda just a plus. 

outside of the canon series, i love Draco more and more every time i read a new fic, or see blog posts of headcanons or edits and all of that. i mainly just think that Draco Malfoy is a very misunderstood character and i don’t think i’ll ever forgive the movies for cutting out some of his best moments and making all the people who don’t read the books see him as a bratty villain. 

when it comes down to it, Draco Malfoy came from a very loving home with two great parents, and their family just happened to be at the top of the food chain when it comes to well-known wizard families. they were always protective, and sure, he was definitely spoiled, but they were also very strict with him when it came to grades and other responsibilities. Draco was used to getting everything he wanted, and only truly bullied Harry through the series because Harry was probably the first person to not take his shit. when he rejected his friendship, Draco pretty much decided to take it upon himself to hurt/embarrass/disappoint Harry more than Harry hurt/embarrassed/disappointed him in front of all the other students on their first day. not to mention the fact that this other boy constantly got attention 24/7 for being “the boy who lived” and constantly fighting off evil, while also beating him in quidditch on the side and having snarky comebacks to his own insults. 

and on top of all that, Draco came from a line of purebloods who only hung out with other purebloods who all worshiped an asshole who promised purebloods immunity if they just stayed out of his way of (and occasionally helping him with) getting rid of muggles and halfbloods on the reg. his father hated the Weasley family, not because of their blood status, but because of differences in the workplace to put it in simple terms. and because they didn’t work together and see eye-to-eye, of course Lucius would tear the other family down when it came to money status. 

because of all this, Draco grew up hearing his father talk shit about the Weasley family, (”red heads blah blah hand-me-down clothes blah blah populate like rabbits blah blah”) along with bad-mouthing “mudbloods,” (”why should we invite muggle-borns into our world and risk ruining everything just to teach them our ways of magic and lifestyle when they thrive perfectly fine in their dumb little magic-less world blah blah blah what if they expose us? blah blah blah if purebloods continue populating with mugle-borns, soon enough there wont be any more purebloods around! blah blah blah”) 

so, growing up with rich, pureblood, snooty assholes and no one else to around to teach him right from wrong and show him that of course the world outside of purebloods isn’t that bad, it’s obvious that little 11-year-old Draco is going to meet a Weasley and a muggle-born Granger and automatically tear them down. you and i and everyone else knows it’s wrong, yes, but we grew up in an environment where we can sort out what’s right from wrong because we weren’t just stuck in some prejudice rich bitch bubble for the first 11 years of our lives. and it doesn’t help that the other Slytherins he hangs around with in the series laugh at and instigate Draco’s insults towards Harry and the other kids the same way. obviously we know not all Slytherins are like that though. 

no one is born with hate in their hearts, it’s the way you’re raised. 

but little by little, Draco changes. going to Hogwarts for all those years of his life and being around such a large group of diverse people who weren’t all just stuck in the same shiny bubble he grew up in changed him. regardless if he made friends with anyone outside of his Slytherin gang. 

he made friends with Moaning Myrtle of all people, and cried alone with her in her bathroom on multiple occasions. 

he was angry and pushed himself harder every time Hermione, the “mudblood” who was (in his mind) supposed to be on a lower level than he was by default, would score higher than him in classes. 

he was scared sick and riddled with anxiety when he was tasked to help find a way for Death Eaters to get into Hogwarts, because he KNEW it was wrong. he could feel it in his gut. he LIED TO HIS FAMILY and said he didn’t recognize his ‘childhood nemesis’ Harry, when he so clearly knew it was him. he LIED to his FAMILY for HARRY even though he KNEW that there had to be some sort of punishments if they found out he was lying. because he knew Harry had a chance of changing the world and getting rid of the Dark Lord. he, himself, hated all of it and wanted it to end. 

the poor kid couldn’t even bring himself to kill Dumbledore, the man that was Voldemort’s biggest obstacle at the time, even though he was alone with him with his wand pointed straight at him. and though he even got the permission from the man himself to go through with it and kill him, he couldn’t do it. he knew it was wrong, he knew he didn’t want to live in a world ran by Voldemort, so he couldn’t do it. 

there are two outcomes before the final battle where the Malfoys call Draco over to their side. in the one used, Draco obeys and silently crosses over to join the side of Death Eaters and his parents. but in an extra cut from the last movie, Draco stands his ground and decides to stay on the side with his fellow classmates. the good side. and when it’s revealed that Harry is in fact alive, he even calls Harry’s name and throws him his own wand so that Harry wouldn’t be defenseless and could fight Voldemort. (i’ll ALWAYS be mad that they didn’t choose that ending. forever salty.)

and, whether you want to view it canon content or not, the Cursed Child had some great redeeming moments for Draco as well. such as admitting to Harry and his friends how he was always secretly jealous of their bond, showing how he was STILL against Voldemort in the “future” alternative where Voldemort is in power, and his all around strong love for Scorpius and Astoria. 

(even though we all know i ship Drarry)

anyway, DRACO MALFOY IS AN AMAZING CHARACTER AND NO ONE CAN EVER EVER EVER CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THAT!!!!!

((this is so long, but tbh i didn’t even hit every single point. believe is or not this is my ‘long story short’ version hahaha but i hope this answers your question.))

Needless to say, I kicked Jungkook's ass at fencing. Jimin congratulated me with soft kisses. And then I woke up. Because Jimin is hot, I had a good reason to throw my alarm clock across the room. It was a really weird dream, but at least I destroyed Jungkook with my awesome fencing skills and I got some kisses as a reward.

[kai-keda]

Honestly, I'm kind of jealous about your extreme reaction to that binge watch of the Freeza fight. I've watched it many times and I don't get nearly as much reaction. Krillin's death doesn't affect me much because I know he's going to be fine, and while I enjoy the fight I do feel that it DRAGGED on and that Kai was a lot more merciful. I enjoyed the fight, but it didn't make me nearly as emotional as you. Are you sure this magic you described isn't just exclusive to you, because I want it.

I know for a fact that the magic I talk about isn’t exclusive to just me because if it was, I wouldn’t call it magic.

I keep comparing it to Lord of the Rings, right? Let me let you in on a little secret: I don’t like Lord of the Rings. It’s not that I don’t think it’s good or that anything in it bugs me, it just doesn’t affect me for some reason. Hell, the same could be said for Star Wars but I think Lord of the Rings takes the cake cause at least when I’m watching Star Wars I get really into it in the moment.

Not everything is going to affect everyone the same. Lord of the Rings definitely has the magic because of the sheer amount of people who not only love it but who try to imitate it. The fact that it shaped an entire genre to this day. Lord of the Rings doesn’t have tropes - it is the reason for those tropes.

The same is for Dragon Ball. I’m just lucky enough for the magic to affect me this time. It shaped an entire genre because it hit so many different people just right. It’s not that it just hit a niche - that’s Twilight - it’s lasted too long for that to be the case. It’s created tropes by just being what it is because people are trying to imitate it to capture that same magic so they take what elements they believe created it.

Everything that I feel while watching Dragon Ball is exclusive to Dragon Ball and many people feel the same way. It’s not going to affect everyone this way just as Lord of the Rings didn’t affect me, but the fact that I went to the bank the other day wearing my Vegeta hoodie and the teller told me “oh yeah, I needed something new to watch and I remembered liking “Z” as a kid so I thought “why not?” and put it in and surprisingly it still holds up really well” and that that isn’t the first time I’ve heard a story like that means something.

That doesn’t happen.

Dragon Ball ended in 1995 - 1995, it’s 2017 and still people are picking it up.

People are picking it up through Kai - Kai - the thing that I bitch about doing a terrible and lazy job of cutting out filler and “making it more like the manga” and that’s because Good Story Can Save Bad Animation(tm) if you let it.

A kid at my church when I was helping with the middle school classes would tell me that “yeah it looks really weird and dumb sometimes but I still love to watch it.” when he was watching Kai on Nickelodeon. He knew it didn’t look that great and while some other kids let that stop them from watching it (”it looks ugly” as they would say), he didn’t care. The story was good enough for him.

I mourn for the kids that are just like me in that it’s really hard for them to get into something that looks bad even if it is a good story, but that just makes the fact that one kid was able to look past it for the sake of the story even more powerful.

I will say, however, that you need to take in the story whatever way works best for you. Watch Kai if the cuts to Bulma during Goku’s base-form fight with Freeza pulls you out of the experience, watch with the Japanese soundtrack in original Z if you don’t like hearing background music in your media, read fan-translations of the manga if you think the fans do a better job than the professionals.

I read the Viz manga because I trust and have respect for professionalism while listening to fans who say changes were made and making my own decisions on what’s most likely true.

I watch the original version because Kai’s random placement of digital looking cels and the cuts that break story-boarding bother me to the point of constantly pulling me out of the experience.

I watch it dubbed because hearing something in your own language with inflections that you recognize without having to think about it pulls me in and makes the world feel more alive.

I watch with the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack because it works better as a soundtrack to manipulate human emotion involving the scene and that’s more important to me than whether or not I would put it in my car to listen to.

It’s funny how the way to pull me in is the way that is most unlike the original, but I still look at the other versions. I take in the originals and I’m working now on watching every. single. version because that magic pulls me into wanting to see every variation of the series.

It could be that the ways your watching or reading have little things that effect your experience whether you know it or not, or maybe Dragon Ball is to you what Lord of the Rings is to me. Hell - it could be that there’s a different part of the series that affects you that way. Maybe it isn’t that fight, maybe it’s Vegeta’s atonement, maybe it’s Gohan’s SSJ2 transformation, maybe it’s Videl saying that she loves Gohan, who knows. That’s a personal thing that I can’t help you with.

However, just like how I can’t deny the magic Lord of the Rings has even though I didn’t feel it, I don’t think it’s fair to deny the magic that Dragon Ball has all because you don’t feel it.

It has lasted too long and has touched too many people to say that it’s just for a niche group.
